Pierce Brosnan Stars In Voltage Thriller ‘I.T.’

EXCLUSIVE: Pierce Brosnan is set to star inI.T., a revenge thriller that Stefano Sollima will direct. Voltage Pictures is financing. Brosnan will play a successful book publisher who finds himself pitted against a young disgruntled I.T. consultant who is tech savvy and uses that to threaten the author’s family and livelihood. Sollima hails from Italy, where he helmed the film A.C.A.B.: All Cops Are Bastards, and the upcoming SkyItalia miniseries Gomorra. I.T. will be produced by David T. Friendly, Craig Flores, Nicolas Chartier and Beau St. Clair, the latter of whom is Brosnan’s producing partner in Irish DreamTime. Dan Kay wrote the script based on an idea by Friendly through his Friendly Films banner.

They are now casting the antagonist role, and aiming for a 2014 start date. Voltage, which most recently backed the Joseph Gordon-Levitt-directed Don Jon, is out securing a domestic studio partner and will sell the film at AFM next month. Voltage’s Dominic Rustam negotiated the deals. Brosnan and Sollima are repped by CAA, Kay by APA

Well, first of all, VOD needs to stop being a curse word in this town. If it takes VOD to have a solid piece of writing like this get on a screen then so be it. The concept may seem tongue in cheek, but it is a very solid thriller. This will be a great role for Pierce.

The script is f*ckin’ awesome! Ted can’t read. Dan’s a kickass writer and ACOB is a high class movie. Excited to see this in theaters!

I’ve read the script, and it’s actually pretty badass. I’ve seen ACAB, and Stefano is a pretty f’ing talented dude. We all know Brosnan is pretty damn great in everything he does. So…. Great script, great director, great star. Anyone who thinks this isn’t going to be good is, quite frankly, an idiot.

I’m a big Pierce Brosnan fan, but this isn’t Ghost Writer. This is grade z material and VOD will never equal Breaking Bad.
